Verdict
Samingarry went close at Haydock two runs ago but reverted to type at Warwick. Beneficial Joe is much better off than when beaten by PATSYS CASTLE (NAP) at Warwick back in September but Kim Bailey’s charge has had the benefit of a recent run. That should have blown away any cobwebs and the 10-year-old may be ready to resume winning ways ahead of returning stablemate Policy Breach and Imperial Prince. The Road Ahead is another returning form a lengthy absence.
